Yes, on the rears being stock offset and front being a different offset. No issues there. Just autocross things. Yes, I agree it's weird and preferably wouldn't want it like that on my own car because OCD things.
People run the ARP studs, usually the long versions vs the regular length versions. The regular length ones are what I have and are actually longer than stock, but not by much. Close ended lug nuts don't work then, so people run the open ended lug nuts, usually the longer 'tuner' style ones.
The crash bolts are weird and my alignment guy, who does autocross cars, was confused by them at first when I put them on my first gen before the second gen came out. Basically it's just a thinner bolt. You put it in and crank over the hub, then tighten it down. That's it. No eccentric lobe or anything like those aftermarket ones that get more like -2 degrees. You'll get about -1 degree.

Interesting... so is there some weird positive/negative thing going on here. Like if I add the 7mm spacers to the 45 offset wheels does it make them 38 offset, not 52 offset? And then 38 is 10mm different from stock 48 and thus not legal?
My simple thinking was that 45 + 7 = 52 and 52 is only a difference of 4 mm from stock... but it sounds like maybe the spacer is actually reducing the offset number, not increasing it? Is there someplace that lists the stock wheel specs for the 2nd gen? I keep seeing different numbers.
So you are able to run the "regular" length ARP studs with your spacers and the lug nuts still seat properly? Would I just leave the spacers on when I put the stock wheels back on the front, or do people remove the spacers and then have studs sticking way out from the wheels?
